This handsome manakin is confined to the southwestern Pacific low- 

 lands, from Las Trojas southward, but is not abundant until the region 

 of the Rio Grande de Pirris is reached. Even there it is not nearly 

 so common as in the Terraba Valley, where it is one of the commonest 

 of the birds inhabiting the low scrubby woodland so abundant in that 

 region. It is rarely seen above 1,500 or 1,800 feet. Its favorite 

 abode is in the low scrub along the edges of the "sabanas." I took 

 a nest of this species at Pozo Aziil de Pirris, May 8, 1902, containing 

 one fresh egg. The female was incubating, but would probably have 

 laid another egg. The nest was of the vireo type, only more frail 

 and with thinner walls. It was constructed entirely of black rootlets, 

 very thin and frail, and hung in a horizontal fork of a small shrub 

 about five feet from the ground, in a dense thicket. The egg is creamy- 

 white, rather elliptical in shape and profusely speckled and blotched 

 with lilac and purplish-red in a broad wreath about the larger end. 

 Measurements: 17 x12.5 mm.
